Hey McNally I am a new fan I really enjoy your content and I was wondering if you would pick an old masterlock no3 with non lock pick things like a clothespin, call it a challenge or call it help. Pls❤ edit: this was supposed to be a comment but as long as they see it
The short hook goes so fast I can't even tell what's happening lmao Edit for clarification since I apparently need to verify; I know what zipping is and I know what's happening. My statement was that I couldn't *see* it happening. Like the bump key.
I think that's the point but it looks like he's bypassing the cylinder entirely rather than doing a speedrake on the first couple locks. After the first ones he still attempts it but ends up doing a normal pick.
@@Metalfacejoel The lishi overall performs better in day to day, because you get very precise feedback. But if it's for speed, then raking it will usually win (for some things not all) and bump key is just OP (also in certain states incredibly illegal to own unless you're a locksmith)
The Lishi is for making a key when you don't have one to make a copy. The short hook is for when you forgot your key and are trying not to wake up your 6mo at 2am. The bump key is for when the unoccupied restroom is locked but you need to get in right now because there's a turtle head poking out and no time to be subtle.
@@unknownvariable2456This. And when you'd bust his ass wide open like a loot lock goblin we all get the cheese! 🧀 Lol or McNally just loot grabs it all first. Because I can also see that happening..
@@brianb8003eh, not always. If customer has just lost one key but still has others they'll often expect you to just unlock it so they can get back inside. Also time comes into account, it can be way quicker to bump key or use EPG to unlock a door than drilling/burring. But yeah, almost never end up single pin picking unless using a lishi on a car (other two featured methods will not work on a car). Source - I am a professional locksmith

Been locksmith for 22 years. Use all 3 methods plus a pick gun. Bump key is the fastest way to open a normal keyway you can get blanks for; however they leave scratches and dents on front of the cylinders if not careful. Registered keyways(Medeco, Assa, Mul-T-Lock, etc..) require regular lock picking method and special pick sets. In some cases, even a bypass tool. Love watching the side by side manipulation methods up close. Cool!
He makes it look easy. This is what years of experience does. I just started and it took me forever just to single pin pick a basic masterlock and when I did it, I didnt even know how, I just trial and errored every pin lol. Much respect to high level lockpickers
bump keys are so funny there's no real thinking involved like proper picking you just put it in there and whack the key with a hammer and it knocks all of the pins out
Top vid is an Engineer meticulously applying their skills while keeping track of the fractional turns of the bolt. Middle vid is a construction worker who just broke one wrench and is now putting a cheater bar on the next wrench because he's done asking nicely. Bottom vid is a backwoods bubba redneck with a can of skoal in one hand and a miller lite in the other taking a blowtorch to it, because the bolt can't be tight if it's liquid.
Gotta love the bump key approach: BRUTE SMARTS & OVERWHELMING FORCE! 🤣 You can practically hear the bump key say "F*ck your finesse" when the last lock got gets popped in a tenth of a second!
This is beautifully filmed and althought I'm not an ASMR person, I appreciate the intricacy of this process and actually find locks fascinating! Who knew the mechanisms inside are this colourful, almost like jewels.
Damn you must be really smart ... I had to add a couple more loops because the first couple I didn't know what the heck I was supposed to be looking at! Then once I got my bearings was I able to do the 3 time watch focusing on each section.
Can you please make a video or a list that has all your recommended lock picking tools and locks in order of price and your recommended experience level? Also tutorials that teach us how to pick locks like a pro that go from starting level to master of lock-picking level? That would be super helpful for everyone wanting to get into the hobby! Thank you
Just want to point something funny out: NcNally and LPL got me into locks so i wound up buying a practice kit, a practice lock, and a Masterlock No3. I actively had a harder time with the practice locks that i do with the No3.
I think it was pretty interesting seeing the shift from a standard lockpick being the fastest to a bump key being the fastest. Really puts into perspective just how much most locks really are merely deterrents.
In addition to different purpose (Lishi tool allows you to recreate a key by identifying the bitting), Lishi tool also likely the one leaving the least amount of picking evidence.
I'm so glad you're back. I hope your time away each time isn't because of your son being unwell again or relapsing or anything. I hope it was for your own mental health or because you don't need money. I'm not religious but I am wishing all the best for your family dude! Please keep holding lock companies to higher standards (when it is okay for you to do so!!!)
Not what's going on there. A bump key is a key blank for whatever lock you're trying to open, that's been cut to the lowest possible height at each pin position, with a little peak next to it. Then, the shoulder of the key, which is the part that stops you from inserting the key past where it's supposed to be inserted, is ground off. You insert the key to the normal depth, apply a little bit of torque to it, then smack it with the hammer. This over-inserts the key, and the little peaks whack the pins , causing them to jump up. As they fall back down, the driver pins, which are the pins above the key pins, will drop at the same rate since they're all the same length and are pushed by identical springs. Meaning they'll all line up, so once the key pins drop past the shear line (the separation between the lock core, which the key turns, and the body of the lock) the lock can open. Incidentally, you can make bumping a lot harder if not impossible simply by varying the strength of the springs in the lock. If they're different strengths, the driver pins will move at different rates, so they'll never all line up with each other at the same time.
@@puckcat22679the principle on which the other picks work is that the torque applied to the barrel forces the drive pins into the side of their respective shafts, increasing friction to force them to remain at the seam height; for these modified locks with different spring tensions per shaft, the bump key would just require more than one whack
First off it's not a real key and second off the key is technically faster because you are literally hitting it once and it immediately opens and not only that the second one is only faster for the first 2

@@Metalfacejoelif he was bypassing it, i don't think the pins would be at the shear line.
It’s a kinetic attack known as “Zipping” you drag you’re hook and it should bump all the keys up inti the sheer line

You make way more money drilling them and then replacing the lock.
It's far less glamorous.

@@WhiskeyAlphaRomeoMAbump buddies!
Well the short hook is meant for individual picking like the lishi, but he just uses it like a rake, and then single picks the binded pins

Right!? I've just been listening to this for like, 10 minutes.
I wouldn't say it's pure - it's cut a little with the banging noises from the bump key
he just professionally spooled all over those locks!
He said “it’s spoolin’ time!” And spoiled all over those locks
its spoolin time!
very well filmed to!! Love the way this was put together!!
This was nice to see. Love how Zipping the lock proceeded to become less efficient upon reaching longer spools and the serrated pins.

Reminds me of the lockpicks in games. Nostalgia🥺

I know I'm not the only one loving the ASMR of lock picking, this stuff is therapy!
The sound is soooooo calming
The short hook saw a hole and knew its goal
The collaboration that I never knew I wanted till now! 😂
That sound tho really satisfying
This is a perfect example of learning to do it "right" so you know what rules to break
The sounds are super satisfying to listen to
This isn't the ASMR we deserved, but it's the ASMR we needed. Love this.

Not always, those are color coded pins used to identify certain pin lengths. They are used for re-pins/re-keying a lock.
YES!! Get the slow mo guys to do a lock picking collab. Would be awesome to see these up close and in slow motion.
That last pin on the Lishi looks like it had enough and wanted to join in the fun down below... 🤣
So much information in a single 60 second short I had to watch it 4 times just to know what was going on
Bump key for tie dub btw
This is concerningly calm...
This is so calming it's concerning me.
I appreciated the pin popping out of its cylinder on the last one
I could watch this all day and still not know what's doing what😂
But I like the clicking sound☝️
That short hook sounded like a sword shanking the lock
Genius way to get me to watch a 1 minute video 3 times 😅

Perfect view, I‘ve always wanted to see this
So cool seeing the inner workings of locks and how they work. Great idea.
Can you make a video showing the process of making these cut-aways?
Easy just go online and buy them, pretty sure that's what they did
as someone who has no idea how to pick locks, that last method looks completely overpowered
Gorgeous. The next movie with a lockpicking scene needs to use this format, as has been overdone with bullet paths.
We definitely need a Slow Mo Guys collab!
That sound is so relaxing
I just put a big order in on covert instruments after watching all of this amazing stuff been watching for a while I finally need to do it.
Essentially what im learning from these videos is that as long as I have thin pointy things and a bump key, I can open anything
That top tool is neat, tension and pin pushing all in one
That second lock on the standard pins got violated beyond anything I’ve ever seen in my life
Ah yes, lock picking ASMR, this is what I came to youtube for.

You make it seem so easy 😮😮😮
Wow that was actually a fast lockpicking
The effectiveness of bump keys is 🤯
I just realized I left this on in my headphones while working... great "white noise"
I can see now the need for an extra long standard pin for stopping bumping
If Wes Anderson had a lockpicking scene.
I think it was pretty interesting seeing the shift from a standard lockpick being the fastest to a bump key being the fastest.

If a lock marketed itself as "McNally proof for 60 seconds!" I think I would buy it.
Conclusion, if you lost your keys, just hit your key with a hammer. That'll open your lock quite quickly.
